Specification of Letters Batent.

Patented Aug. 5, 1919.

Application filed August 14, 1915. Serial No. 45,578.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. Wrr'r, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Spraying Water, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in means for spraying waste water or other water and has for its object the production of an improved construction of this character which is simple and eflicient in use.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side view of the apparatus embodying my invention,

Fig. 2, a view taken at right angles 1:

Fig. 1,

Fig. 3, an enlarged top plan view of the lower portion of the apparatus,

Fig. 41, a section of a collapsing chamber employed with the construction,

Fig. 5, a view of a triangular cam member employed in the construction, and

Fig. 6, a View of a modified form of construction.

The form illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive comprises an elevated water tank 7 arranged to receive waste water from a building or other source and provided with a discharge pipe 8 and an overflow pipe 9. Overflow pipe 9 leads to one of a pair of twin tanks 10 and 11 positioned under tank 7 and provided with discharge pipes 12 leading to a common discharge pipe 13. Tanks 10-11 are provided with an overflow pipe 14 and the pipes 8131-1 are collected together at one point to operate on a water wheel 15 arranged over a collecting tank 16. Tank 17 is provided with a spray trough 18 to receive water from wheel 15 and is provided with three discharge pipes or hose 19.

The tank 16 is connected by means of a flexible pipe or hose 32 with the upper portion of a collapsible chamber 33, said chamber being normally held in extended position by a spring 35 and the lower portion thereof held stationary by any suitable means. A check valve 3% is provided for hose 32 for preventing back flow therethrough. The upper portion of chamber 33 carries a roller 36 operating against the under side of an operating lever 37 which carries a triangular cam member 38 at its free end. Cam member 38 cooperates with a roller 39 on a pendulum 10 mounted on shaft 11 driven by suitable. clock work mechanism not shown. Discharge pipe 42 leads from the bottom of chamber 33 to spraying nozzles 43 projecting upwardly through a drip trough 44 in any desired direction. A drain plpe -15 leads from drip trough 4: 1 to tank 16 for returning drip pings thereto. By this arrangement the vessel 33 is alternately collapsed and expanded to discharge water in the form of a spray from nozzles 43 and to refill said chamber.

In the form of construction illustrated in Fig. 6 the water operated upon by chamber 33 is supplied from a pipe 16 leading to tank 16, said pipe 46 leading from any suitable or desired source of water supply, and the spray produced by the chamber 33 may. be utilized for any useful purpose such as sprinkling streets, gardens, etc.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred forms of construction for carrying my invention into effect, these are capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to limit myself to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to'secure by Letters Patent is:

1. Spraying means comprising a collapsible chamber; means for supplying fluid to said chamber; a check valve preventing back flow; a spraying nozzle operatively connected with said chamber; and clock work mechanism for collapsing said chamber, substantially as described.

2. Spraying means comprising a collapsible chamber; means for supplying fluid to said chamber; a check valve preventing back flow; a spraying nozzle operatively connected with said chamber; a clock work operated pendulum; and an operative connection between said collapsible chamber.

and pendulum, substantially as described.

3. Spraying means comprising a collapsible chamberg means for supplying fluid to said chamber; a check valve preventingback flow; a spraying nozzle oper'atively connected with said member; a clockwork operated pendulum; a roller on said pendu lum; an operating level-arranged to collapse said chamber; and a cam member on'said Copies 6: this patent may be' obtained for 7 WILLIAM F.
